company.
A campaign for extensive rye plant
ing by Oregon farmers, particularly
those of the semi-arid districts of the i
interior, similar to the corn campaign
waged so successfully in former years,
has been undertaken by C. I. Smith,
Tietter known as "Karnier" Smith, agri
culturist for the o.-W. K. & N. Com
pany. Traffic Manager Robinson is in
terested in the movement and will back
up the plan Willi all the resources of
Jlis department.
"Rye is an excellent substitute for
vhfat and corn," said .Mr. Robinson,
"and in the present crisis it is impera
tive that every bushel of these latter
frrains be conserved as food for the
sillies and our soldiers in the field.
"The call to farmers of the state to
plant rye is a patriotic one, and all who
ran sow rye are urged to do so. We
will undertake to get seed for them
and pive instructions that will assure
success."
Food Value Hlch.
"The food value of a bushel of rye,
as compared with a bushel of wheat
or corn, is practically identical," said
Mr. Smith. "The value of growing: rye
is that it can be grown successfully
on land in the interior with an aver
age rainfall of less than 15 inches in
a. season.
"Not only that, but rye is hardy and
will grow at a lower temperature than
-wheat, will mature on soil with less
organic materials than will other
cereals, and it requires less moisture.
As a substitute for wheat it is excel
lent. "There are 100,000 acres in the In
ferior well adapted for growing rye.
This, too, without much soil prepara
tion. Sagebrush land, disked and har
rowed a bit and sown to rye, will as
sure a good crop, running from 15
to 20 Dushels an acre. With grains
selling at high prices, and rye also In
the list of high-cost foodstuffs, this
taught to prove attractive to the farm
ers, so they can utilize their waste
lands for rye growing.
Teat Already Made.
"That rye can be grown successfully
In the interior is already demonstrated.
Slany farmers are growing it for hay,
put what we need is for It to be ma
tured into grain.
"Canada produced 2.000,000 bushels
of rye last year. In Kastern Oregon
we can produce 2,000,000 bushels of rye
fn a season and not interfere In the
least with the present wheat acreage."
The necessity of a rye campaign to
produce a cereal that shall take the
place of wheat to a large extent Is
emphasized by the traffic officials, and
it is urged that farmers take early
steps wherever possible to put In Kail
seedinfts. Mr. Smith has been out over
the territory urging this plan, but aa
